King's Daughters & Sons
The April 15 meeting was held at First United Methodist Church with 22 members and one guest present. Hostesses Joyce Stearns and Suzanne Avery served refreshments from a Spring-themed table.
Amber Wolfram, bereavement counselor with Bridge Hospice, spoke about hospice. The history of hospice goes back to caring for the dying at monasteries and nunneries. Modern history begins in London in 1948. Interest in having such a program in the U.S. began to build and with Dr. Kuebler-Ross book on Death & Dying, it grew. Locally, a hospice program was developed in Findlay in 1983. In 1990, Wood County was added and renamed Bridge (bridging the counties) and additional counties have been added. Home health care was added in 1996. Wolfram emphasized the importance of volunteers. Bereavement services are available to loved ones after the death of a client.
Suzanne Avery presented devotions and President Emmy Hann presided at the business meeting.
